What makes kids excited about going back to school?
It is that time of the year again when students are recharged and eager to go back to school. School may yet be one of the best parts of a child’s life, an extension of their comfort, a place they can be themselves and, in a way, an everyday adventure. The first day of school is usually the hardest because of the new routine but it is easily overcome by expecting best things that are to come.
